1.5 rotisserie chickens from Sam's Club – $7.50
2 bags carrots, stalk celery, bag rotini from Aldi – $3.66
Random seasonings from cabinet
Made the base stock from the rotisserie bones simmered for 12 hours.
100x better and more filling than canned soup, and much cheaper as this will give 12+ Huge bowls

Yup stealing this
Looks great!
Chefs kiss, cooking this
You’ve inspired me
this is pure kitchen magic right here. I can feel and smell the warm and cozy vibes just looking at the pic 🪄
How do you prevent all the pasta from bloating and soaking up all the soup? Esp with leftovers
Pardon my cooking noobness. So you get as much meat as you can off the rotisserie, then throw the rest in a pot with water and seasoning to make the broth?
Pro tip cook the pasta separate and add it per dish each day ideally when serving
You can’t compare this to Campbell’s because it’s not 90% water.
Which seasonings did you use? I like a bit of celery seed in mine, so I’m curious to see what other people like to add.
I’ve made chicken soup from roasting my own chicken and using the drippings to make the broth. But I’ve never made a broth from a cooked rotisserie chicken. Do you have to strain it through a large strainer to get everything out leaving the clear broth — or how do you do it? My only hesitation is being able to pull that off without making a mess with a heavy pot.
Then again, I use a iron/ceramic Dutch oven, so maybe I just need a tall stainless steel stock pot that I can lift easier.
That’s 12 servings? 1.5 Sam’s rotisserie chickens, 1lb pasta, 2lbs veggies is like 6-8 servings max.
Home cooked is so much better.
Shieeeet, 12 plus for you lol. I’m getting max 6 out of that. Still a good value dinner though and healthy. And personally I’d add potatoes. But I’m sure that’s fire.
I make mine in the instant pot. Comes out great each time
Looks yummy.
Soup: The first, and most fundamental art in human cookery.
Bonus points if you can instead find marked down raw chicken at your grocer’s. Just as good, just as cheap, and you’re reducing food waste.
Pardon the dumb question – the base stock. I’ve never made something like this before. Do you just put the bones in water and simmer for 12 hours?
You are absolutely right. Home cooking is vastly superior to ultra processed. Yours looks delicious. Hey, recipes differ, but home cooked rules.
🤩
If you have the time, roasting the vegetables is a game changer. Depending on your style, it can add so many layers of flavor.
Want some red wine with the meal? Caramelize some onions in some red wine and butter. Want to add more complex herb flavors? Roast the carrots and celery in a 375 degree oven for 45 minutes with some olive oil/salt/pepper. Add some herbs before and after 30 minutes to finish. Want to have a Mexican version? Pan fry or BBQ the chicken with some taco seasoning and add cilantro.
The sky is the limit with this kinda soup.
Looks amazing!!! I whole heartedly agree…screw Campbell’s!!!
That looks way better than condensed soup from a can! Plus the Campbell’s guy said they 3d print their meat 😂
Holy crap this looks amazing… I need to start eating more soup!
Is there a way to stop the chicken from turning into dry stringy strips?
You could easily make 20 servings with more stock
and it’s not 10,000 mg sodium. bravo!
Wow. I could never make that for under $15 in canada. All those vegetables for $4 is blowing me away
Just did this tonight.
Maxi had condensed Campbell for $1 a can so same
Hell yeah
Homemade chicken noodle soup is so damn good I love it
Pro pro tip. Make your own stock regularly. Save bones, onion ends, celery ends etc in a freezer bag. When you have enough scraps boil and simmer for a long while in a stock pot (I add a few bay leaves). Strain liquid and scoop out floating fat. Freeze in desired quantities to use later.
I like to have a veg only stock bag if I have veggie friends come over for dinner. Mixing meat scraps is up to you.
Made hamburger beef stew for dinner myself. Soup season is the best👍
My mom’s secret ingredient to chicken soup is a can of diced tomatoes. The acidity added a nice flavor.
12+ – This is 4 over the whole day 😀
